fireflies_get_transcriptsLABSCO SUMMARY
Meeting history, searchable from the conversation.
Search is what makes it worth wiring up: instead of remembering which call something was said on, you look for the phrase and open the transcript it came back in.
What it is
An MCP server over the Fireflies.ai API. It lists your meeting transcripts and filters them by date, searches their text for a phrase, opens one in full with its speakers and metadata, and asks Fireflies for a summary in bullet points or in prose.
What you get
- A list of your transcripts, narrowed by date range
- One transcript in full - speakers, content and metadata
- Transcripts found by keyword rather than by date
- A summary of a meeting, as bullet points or as a paragraph
Requirements
A Fireflies API key, created under Settings > API in the Fireflies dashboard and passed as FIREFLIES_API_KEY. There is no published package: clone the repository, run npm install and npm run build, and point your client at node and the clone's dist/index.js.
Setup effort
Build from source — git clone https://github.com/Props-Labs/fireflies-mcp
USE CASES
01
Finding the call where a decision was made
Search for the phrase, then open the transcript it matched and read around it.
02
Catching up on a meeting you missed
Ask for the summary in bullet points and read it in under a minute.
03
Writing up last week without rewatching it
List the transcripts inside the date range, then summarise each one.
04
Checking who said what before you reply
The full transcript comes back with speakers attached, not just the text.
05
Pulling every call with a client this quarter
Filter by start and end date and take the list from there.
